Question

the normal body cell of an organism contain 28 pair of chromosome. the number of chromosome present in its germ cell will be a) 28 b)14 c)56 d)42

Answer 1

28 is the right answer

Germ cell contains half no.of chromosome than in parents cell

28pairs = 56 chromosomes
56/2= 28

Answer 2

The correct answer is a) 28

Explanation:

• Germ cells are formed through meiosis and in meiosis one cell is divided into 4 cells by two meiotic division. It reduces the number of the chromosome by half.
• So germ cells contain half the number of chromosomes as the normal somatic cell contains. So here the normal body cell of an organism contains 28 pairs of chromosome therefore it contains 56 chromosomes (28*2=56).
• So as germ cell contains half the number of chromosomes as of somatic cell than the germ cell will contain only 28 chromosomes.
